Meat:2 1/2 lbs Pork Tender thawed (roast style)Mix:1 1/2 C brown sugar with1 1/2 C salsa1 can coke(just do equal parts of brown sugar & salsa - how ever much you think you need/want)Put pork in Crock-Pot and pour mixture over it. Cook it on low for 7 hrs (or until meat is cooked). Shred pork and cook an additional 30 min minimum. The pork will absorb all the juices.(I substitute chicken because I like it much better than pork, usually I do about 6 large chicken breasts. I also though it was really sweet at first so I started using diet coke and it helped a lot)

Cafe Rio Rice3 cups rice6 cups water4 tsp. chicken bouillon1 Tbs. butter1/2 onion chopped4 tsp. minced garlic1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped1 can diced green chilies1/2 tsp. saltSaute onion and garlic with the butter until the onion is soft. Add the rice and water and all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

Directions:Thaw out the bread dough, but not to the point where it starts rising. Cut the dough into fourths. Roll each fourth out into a long oval shape. Spoon a generous amount of pizza sauce onto half of the dough leaving about a quarter of an inch around the edge. Put your favorite pizza toppings on top of the sauce and then cover with cheese. Fold the empty half of the dough over on top of the cheese and toppings. Take a fork and smash the edges around the half oval, sealing it shut.

Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

I got this recipe from my friend at work and decided to use it for out Thanksgiving rolls, they were delicious!(this is the long method, if you want to do the short method like I did you follow the directions for the "fast method" on the back of the bag. After 30 minutes of rising that way spoon on topping and let rise in oven another 30 minutes.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brown the hamburger in a large skillet; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and paste, blend well.

Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon 1/2 cup meat sauce into bottom of dish. Top with half of the pasta, half of the remaining sauce and 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat layers, starting with pasta and ending with cheese.

Also known as "eggs in a basket", these are so easy and quick. Easiest breakfast ever.

What you need:

equal amounts of bread slices and eggs

butter

seasoning

Syrup

Griddle or frying pan

Directions:

1. Heat griddle to 325 degrees or frying pan on stove to medium heat.

2. Cut squares or circles in the middle of each slice of bread then butter around the hole on both sides. (My husband prefers that I butter first and then cut so that I can fry the bread squares and he can eat them with his breakfast)

3. Place buttered bread on griddle or pan and crack an egg into the hole. If you don't like runny yolks then break up the yolk with a fork. If you like salt or any other seasoning on your eggs put it on now.

4. Once the egg has set on one side, flip the bread over and let it finish cooking on the other side. (similar to making pancakes)

5. Once done serve with syrup or by itself, both ways are really good!
